If you want to give it an AC bonus for being on all fours I'd make it a circumstance bonus or racial bonus.As for the Semi-Quadruped issue, the ability to switch between biped and quadruped at will means that the disadvantages for a Multi-Armed creature are minimal, because it will be in whatever stance is most beneficial at the time.When it Moves, Charges or Bull Rushes (the occasions when it benefits most from the "Quad Mode" of its Semi-Quadruped trait) it can only make a standard attack, so it is only able to use one of its arms to make an attack anyway. Then when it stops, rears on its hind legs and makes a full attack with all its arms it is only able to move a 5-foot step anyway.It's not a significant disadvantage if it hardly ever penalizes the creature.</blockquote>
